TVS XL 100 sales decline is the steepest in the top 10 two wheelers. Sales decline is reported at 44.27 percent, down at 33,395 units. Sales fell from 59,923 units. Volume loss stood at 26,528 units. The unit is one without much direct competition. Being a moped means there’s not much to choose from for customers. And its USP has for long ensured that the XL 100 has been TVS’ topseller. However, that order was disrupted last month.
Hero Glamour sales growth was the highest in the top order list. YoY base sales was low at 19,238 units. In December 2021, this number rose to 31,595 units. Volume gain stood at 12,357 units at volume gain of 64.23 percent. Suzuki and Yamaha failed to leave a mark last month.
